Diwali gifting often comes down to the same problem: a list of twenty names and a budget that does not stretch to twenty proper gifts. Colleagues, the neighbours on both sides, the watchman, two cousins, the lady who helps at home. So this is our list of Diwali gifts under ₹100, ten of them, all live on the site today at ₹39 to ₹99, all shipped free anywhere in India and paid for in cash at the door. None of them is a token. Each one gets used on the festival itself or worn the week after.
The rule for a ₹99 gift: it should be used, not stored
A gift at this price fails when it goes into a drawer. It works when it goes on the door, on the balcony rail, on the puja shelf or on a wrist that same evening. That is the only rule we used to make this list. We left out anything decorative that has no job to do, and anything that needs the recipient to already own something else to make sense of it.
The second thing we looked for is that it should look right when opened in front of other people. A set of painted diyas in a fitted carton looks like a gift; a loose item in a courier bag does not.
Ten Diwali gifts under ₹100
Prices are exactly as they appear on the site today; the product page is always the final word.
1. Handpainted clay diyas, set of twelve (₹99)
The first one to pick. Twelve traditional terracotta diyas, hand painted in red, gold and green, each holding enough oil or ghee for two to three hours of steady light. That covers the puja and the evening. A set of handpainted clay diyas is the gift that gets lit the same night you give it, which is the whole point. Each diya is wrapped individually and packed in a fitted carton.
2. Beaded door toran, 40 inch (₹99)
A handmade toran with beads, small bells and marigold motifs, forty inches wide, which fits a standard main door with a little to spare on each side. Unlike a fresh flower toran it does not wilt, so it can go up a week early and come down after Bhai Dooj, and it comes out again next year. The beaded door toran is an easy gift for neighbours, because every home has a door.
3. Scented floating candles, pack of six (₹99)
Rose and sandalwood scented candles that float in a bowl of water or an urli, with a burn time of about four hours each. Three in a wide bowl with a few petals is the centre of a dining table on Diwali night.
4. Reusable rangoli mat set (₹99)
Four acrylic pieces that arrange into a 24-inch rangoli at the threshold. No powder, no colour on the floor, wipe clean and use again next year. We suggest it for anyone in a flat with a shared corridor, a rented home, or a house with a toddler who walks through powder rangoli.
5. Lakshmi puja thali set (₹99)
A brass-finish thali with a diya, a kumkum holder, a bell, an agarbatti stand and a kalash. It suits a young couple in their first home, or anyone who moved cities this year and left the family thali behind. It gets used every Diwali after.
6. Teddy bear jewellery gift box (₹49)
A soft plush teddy with a hidden compartment inside for a ring, a chain or a pair of earrings. The jewellery is not included; you add your own. With a small pair of earrings inside it becomes the gift everyone wants to see opened. The teddy bear jewellery box is the pick when you want a reveal rather than a parcel.
7. Jelly and ghungroo bangles set (₹49)
Two kinds of bangle in one set: thin, bright, translucent jelly bangles and metallic ghungroo bangles strung with tiny bells that chime when the wrist moves. Stack both kinds for a festive arm, or wear the jelly ones alone with a kurti. The count and bangle size are not stated in the listing, so go by the photos.
8. Women’s oval dial bracelet watch, gold tone (₹99)
More ornament than instrument, which is the right way round for a gift. A small oval maroon dial in a gold-tone case on a polished bracelet strap with a clasp. It works with a saree at a wedding and with a plain kurti at the office. Of everything here, it is the one that looks like it cost more.
9. Flower-shaped cufflinks (₹39)
A pair of cufflinks shaped like a flower, with a patterned face and a swivel fastening, for a French-cuff shirt. The metal type is not stated, so go by the photos for the finish. It fits inside a card envelope, which solves the wrapping problem.
10. Silicone charger case (₹89)
A soft silicone cover that wraps a charger adapter and keeps scratches and scuffs off it, with a crying-face character design in bright colours. It is made for one specific make of charger, named in the listing, so check that the recipient uses it before you order.
Who gets what
- Colleagues: the floating candles or the rangoli set. Both are neutral, both get used that week, and neither assumes anything about the person’s home.
- Neighbours: the door toran. It is the gift they will see every time they come home, and it does not need a size.
- The lady who helps at home, the watchman, the driver: the clay diyas. A full set of twelve is a proper gift for a household, not a token.
- A cousin or a younger sister: the bangles, the teddy box or the watch, depending on age.
- Uncles and the men at the office: the cufflinks, on their own or tucked into a card.
- A couple setting up home: the thali set, or the thali and the diyas together at ₹198.
Making ₹99 look like more
Three things make a small gift land well, at no cost.
- Write a message in the order notes at checkout. We print it on a plain card and put it inside the parcel.
- Pair two items. The diyas and the candles together cover a whole evening’s lighting for ₹198. The toran and the rangoli set dress the entrance for ₹198. The teddy box with the bangles inside is a two-part gift for ₹98.
- Time the delivery. A gift that arrives four or five days before Diwali gets used on the day. One that arrives after it goes into a drawer until next year.
If the budget is a little more than ₹100 a head, our Diwali gifts under ₹500 guide picks up where this list stops. The diyas and candles are in the Diyas and Lights category; the toran, rangoli set and thali sit in Home Decor and Puja Essentials, and the rest are in Accessories and Home and Lifestyle, so you can browse the photos before deciding.
Ordering many gifts, and cash on delivery for the recipient
Every order is cash on delivery. There is no online payment step, no card and no wallet. Shipping is free to every serviceable pincode in India, and there is no cash on delivery fee, so a ₹39 pair of cufflinks really does cost ₹39 at the door.
To send a gift to someone in another city, enter their address and phone number at checkout. The courier calls that number before delivery, and the recipient pays the cash amount, so tell them the total in advance. If you are sending several gifts to one office or one building, put them in one order to one address and hand them out yourself. Orders are packed in Hyderabad and dispatched within one working day, Monday to Saturday. After that, delivery is usually five to seven days for most of India, faster in the south, and eight to twelve days for remote and hill areas.
Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday 8 November. Courier networks are at their busiest in the fortnight before, so order by 29 October wherever you are. If anything arrives broken, photograph it with the box within 48 hours and write to us; we replace it free or refund by UPI or bank transfer.
